A musical imitation of analogue artificial intelligence.
Broken, technically sophisticated rhythms, modern lyrical bass lines, robust saxophone sounds and unpredictable improvisation constitutes the language of this new band of old friends.
Their musical expression is a response to AI, as they insist that music is still at it’s most powerful, beautiful, most wild, lyrical and sensual when performed by musicians in the moment and before a live audience.
After making his highly praised albums ‚Broken Circles’ and ‘Melt’ (Whirlwind Recordings), Jure Pukl, one of Slovenia’s most acclaimed musicians and his project Analog AI are embarking on a tour to present the material from their forthcoming album.

LINER NOTES
„Complete freedom in music is hard to achieve. This isn’t something that can be learned. Only through playing with musicians who have a point of view, who aren’t trying to prove anything, can you even start to approach REAL freedom.
Oftentimes, patience and cohesiveness aren’t normal companions to virtuosity…but the group of musicians convened here, Jure, John, Joe and Christian, bring everything to the table.
Rhythmic complexity, CREATIVITY, texture, sound, form, PATIENCE, interaction, melody, variety, FREEDOM, brilliance, virtuosity, space, PERSPECTIVE, tradition, theme…chemistry.
This is music in it’s purest form, and it sure is fun to experience.“
